Abbeyside Ladies Football to contest All Ireland Intermediate Semi-Final


Following on from the Munster Final Replay win over Limerick Champions Ballylanders, Abbeyside next game will be a meeting with the Connacht Champions,  Annaghadown of Galway,  in the All Ireland Intermediate Semi-Final next Sunday, the 20th November. Abbeyside have home advantage for the semi-final and the game will be played in Fraher Field with a 1.00 pm throw-in.

Annaghdown are a top class team having contested the last three Galway Intermediate Finals, beating  Moycullen in the 2016 final on a score-line of 2-9 to 1-10. Their progress through the Connacht Championship has been ruthless, beating the  Leitrim side Fenagh very easily followed by an excellent win over  Roscommon  Intermediate  Champions, Padraigh Pearse in the Connacht Final, on a score-line of 4-9 to 2-10l.

The Annaghadown team have a strong representation from the Galway county teams:-  sisters Jessica and Nicolla Burke, and Chloe Crowe are on the senior panel,  Erin Coyle and Bronagh Quinn are on the Minor panel and Chelsie Crowe is on the U16 panel. The team is captained by former county star Niamh Duggan who has won Senior and Minor All Ireland medals for her county and will be a major force next Sunday.

Abbeyside will enter the fray next Sunday with a lot of confidence based on solid wins over Bantry Blues (Cork) and Ballylanders.  The Abbeyside panel has a good blend of youth and experience with half of the panel still playing minor. The team is captained by the very experienced Siobhan Murray.

Please come out and support the girls next Sunday in Fraher Field, with a 1.00 pm throw-in.

Abbeyside Panel: A Jordan, S Murray, D Hayes, C Dunford, C McCarthy, M Dunford, S Morrissey, F Morrissey, C McGrath, L Dunford, M Delahunty, R Tobin, S Bracket, N Looby, S McDonnell Moynihan, J Mulcahy, K Green, C McGrath, S McGrath, J Cambell, C Lake, E Fennell.
